Desert Landscaping in Salt Lake City
Desert landscaping often poses a challenge when balancing aesthetics and functionality. Localscaping considers Salt Lake City’s unique climate and environmental concerns to create a design guide for home and business owners that reduces an exterior space’s carbon footprint and water consumption
The experts at Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair, Landscape SLC are ready to partner with you to create a localscape that excites you to spend time outdoors. With over 20 years in business, we proudly offer some of the best desert landscaping in Salt Lake City.
What is Localscaping? Reducing Water & Energy Consumption
Localscaping is a five-step design that builds a landscape catered to Salt Lake City climate and geographical area. Plans that meet specific guidelines reduce water and energy consumption in layout and material use.
Owners often find that localscape plans significantly reduce the time and materials needed to maintain their outdoor spaces. Rewards programs also incentivize locals by providing partial monetary reimbursement for localscaping designs that meet the environmental requirements averaging around $2,000.
Basics of Localscaping Steps to Sustainable Living
Localscaping begins by outlining where to place a central, open space that can be lawn, gravel, pavement, or any other low-lying flat material. This open space will better accommodate an irrigation system and sprinklers to ensure they only water where needed to keep your flora healthy.
Our team at Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair, Landscape SLC offers exceptional sod installation services to keep your patch of lawn healthy during all months of the year. Grass belongs exclusively in this open space, so you’ll want to consider what other materials and textures should fill in the remainder of your design.
Recreation
Do you enjoy hosting social events? Utilize areas outside your central space to create patios, gazebos, or other sturdy, low-maintenance areas for gathering. Consider what encourages you to spend time outside, making the most of the beauty you’ve invested in.
Place activity areas for children or spas and hot tubs towards the corners and sides of your yard. Use gravel, stone or bricks as a base to reduce the water and energy needed to sustain these areas.
Hot Shot can assist with everything from laying concrete for a patio to installing the electrical components needed for a spa and light fixtures. We can inspect what you currently have and recommend repairs or alterations to best suit your new gathering space.
Plants and Pathways
Fill in the remaining desert landscaping design with plants native to Salt Lake City. Plants provide shade and protect your home or business from temperatures that can cause your energy bill to spike.
Use tiles, bricks, concrete, or gravel to create winding paths connecting the different spaces and allowing you to enjoy every inch of your outdoor oasis. Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape can select plants that support your yard and decrease soil degradation. Our mulching services can fill in the remaining areas and add to the overall health of your plant beds.
Our team can install, repair, or convert irrigation systems that will water the different elements of your yard correctly to keep your landscape lush and minimize water usage.
Xeriscaping and Xeroscaping
If you prefer to keep the plant life minimal, Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair, Landscape SLC can help you incorporate xeriscaping or even xeroscaping into your localscape. Xeriscaping utilizes plants native to Salt Lake City that are specifically drought resistant to dramatically decrease the water needed to sustain your yard.
Xeroscaping moves away from plants to design a yard with alternative materials that don’t require watering for maintenance. Often gravel or stone fills large spaces and creates an appealing design.
